The same way that Auto Insurance companies can revoke your license in
California. They simply revoke you insurance policy after you gather 3
point agaisnt you driving record. According to CA-DMV, you license
immediately becomes suspended for lack of insurance. Notice that the legal
suspension limit is more than 6 points. However, the over-arching
requirement is liability insurance. Thus, placing the control with the
insurance companies (hell, I never said I *liked* living here).
ARIN seems to be operating on a similar principle as the DMV.
